Red Hat Partners Rally Around JBoss EAP 7
RED HAT SUMMIT 2016 - Red Hat (News - Alert), Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's
leading provider of open source solutions, today highlighted the breadth
and depth of its global partner ecosystem around Red
Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) 7, the latest
version of Red Hat's industry-leading open source Java EE 7 compliant
application platform, and its vision for the future of Java-based hybrid
cloud application development.
JBoss EAP is built to be modular and lightweight, and offer high
performance and security features while meeting enterprise reliability
and compliance standards. With the availability of JBoss EAP 7, Red Hat
pushes beyond the Java EE specification to offer additional enhancements
focused on developer friendliness, high productivity, and cloud
architectures to give partners and customers more flexibility, agility,
and speed to deliver innovative applications.
As the world's
first open source company to earn two billion dollars in revenue,
Red Hat relies on a vast
partner ecosystem made up of independent software vendors (ISVs),
global and regional systems integrators (SIs), and value-added resellers
(VARs), in addition to an extensive channel of original equipment
manufacturer (OEM), distributor, and reseller partners.
Over
the last 10 years, many partners have built businesses and dedicated
practices focused on enabling customers to develop, connect, deploy, and
manage applications using lightweight, cloud-friendly, open source
technologies from Red Hat. These partners play a key role in supporting
enterprises in their journey toward digital transformation as they move
from traditional Java EE toward hybrid cloud architectures based on
agility and flexibility via DevOps practices, microservices-style
architectures, and containers.
Today, more than 1,100 ISV applications or products bundle technologies
from Red Hat's middleware portfolio, or are certified to run on or
integrate with Red Hat JBoss Middleware platforms. Red Hat's Advanced
and Premier Middleware partners include more than 400 consulting and
systems integration partners, and most of the leading global systems
integrators.

Rob Cardwell, vice president, Strategic Partnerships and Alliances,
Red Hat
"As we look back on the last 10 years of JBoss, partners have played an
important role in helping us to get to where we are today - not just for
JBoss EAP, but for Red Hat's entire middleware portfolio. We want to
acknowledge these relationships and thank our partners for the role they
have played in our past and can play in our future."
Heinz Wilming, director, Red Hat JBoss Competence Center, akquinet
"Java EE, open source and open standards provide us with the opportunity
to design, implement and run large and critical business applications in
a future-proof manner. Red Hat, being the leading open source company,
serves as a catalyst in the open source community. The newly released
JBoss EAP 7 makes Red Hat one of the first and leading providers of an
application server that is fully Java EE certified and also provides
full-fledged provider support. Red Hat's long-lasting support, regular
updates and interoperability offer protection of investment and
confidence in the future for both our customers and akquinet."
Matthew Polly, vice president of worldwide alliances and business
development, AppDynamics
"AppDynamics has long been a platform of choice for monitoring of
application performance and availability in JBoss EAP. After six years
as a Red Hat partner, we know that an effective application performance
management strategy, such as the one provided by AppDynamics on JBoss
EAP, is key in order to gain efficiencies from existing Java enterprise
applications. JBoss EAP 7 gives customers a solid foundation to expand
to cloud environments, containers and microservices architectures and we
look forward to supporting it with our world-class Application
Intelligence Platform and growing together with Red Hat."
Andreas Hack, chief technology officer, Atos
"As Europe's largest vendor-neutral systems integrator, Atos
collaborates with a variety of open source vendors. In the last three
years none of our collaborations has been as successful as the one with
Red Hat. The basis of success formed a joint project in Germany. During
this project, Atos supplied application server software in accordance
with the Java EE 6 specification and maintenance and support services
for this software. This requirement was met with JBoss EAP 6. The open
source solution was more cost-effective for application development for
this project and its operation than previously used application server
software. JBoss EAP 7 opens up a wide new area of our system integration
and managed services activities. JBoss EAP 7 can keep up with the speed
of evolution of technological advances, modern architecture styles, and
most importantly our customers' needs, and helps provide self-contained
microservices, agile development, smooth test and deployment, massive
scalability - all without leaving behind the proven JBoss heritage."
Sacha Labourey, CEO and founder, CloudBees
"It is exciting to see the direction Red Hat is taking JBoss. With JBoss
EAP 7, IT teams are empowered to adopt modern technologies and
architectures. As a Red Hat partner, we are pleased to see JBoss evolve
in this way. Organizations can now further embrace JBoss as a de facto
middleware standard, benefit from a more cost efficient platform, and
support their transformative IT initiatives, such as DevOps, cloud and
continuous delivery. JBoss EAP 7 is a win fo Red Hat, CloudBees and our
mutual customers."
Ravi Mayuram, senior vice president, Products, Couchbase
"Containers, microservices and NoSQL are an essential requirement for
modern applications as enterprises transform themselves to build digital
economy businesses. JBoss EAP 7, with Java EE 7 compliance, and
Couchbase products (Couchbase Server 4.5, Couchbase Mobile 1.2) together
provide the agility to develop and deploy at scale for meeting
ever-growing customer demands for web, mobile, and IoT applications."
Pierre Fricke, vice president, Product Marketing, EnterpriseDB
"Enterprises must deliver digital competitive advantage now more than
ever. This requires an IT organization that can rise to the challenge of
constant change. Rapid development and deployment of new applications
and data require flexible, open source platforms. By combining JBoss EAP
7 and EDB Postgres, enterprises can be liberated from expensive, rigid
IT infrastructure so they can accelerate delivering digital business."
Kenichi Tachinooka, Director, Intelligent Wave Inc.
"The stability and reliability provided by the foundational products of
Red Hat have now become essential factors for developing
mission-critical applications for financial messaging field where
Intelligent Wave Inc. has long been strong. We believe that JBoss EAP 7
can contribute to the further evolution of our software solutions with
its advanced and appealing features implementing the latest Java EE 7
specification."
Gus Robertson, CEO, of NGINX, Inc.
"NGINX has a strong, collaborative partnership with Red Hat across the
enterprise Linux, OpenShift, and JBoss platforms, and we are excited to
continue this and support the release of JBoss EAP 7. Many of today's
leading organizations adopt NGINX Plus for high performance load
balancing and traffic routing for their mission critical applications,
both on-premise and in the cloud, enabling them to handle a larger
volume of users while providing a faster and more consistent user
experience. With JBoss EAP 7, NGINX is working to enable a more seamless
future for enterprise application development and delivery as
organizations move to containers and microservices to achieve even
greater flexibility and scale."
James Chinn, CEO, Shadow-Soft
"As Red Hat's Middleware Partner of the Year for both 2015 and 2016,
Shadow-Soft has been eagerly anticipating the JBoss EAP 7 release. JBoss
EAP 7 goes far beyond an incremental update because it enables users to
truly embrace a microservices-based deployment, management and scaling
model. These improvements align well with a cloud or container first
strategy that many of our customers demand today."
Daniel Braunsdorf, CEO, Viada
"JBoss has been a part of the Red Hat family for 10 years now, and at
the same time we will celebrate 10 years of partnership between Viada
and Red Hat. In all these years, the announcements of major releases of
the JBoss EAP have been some of the most exciting moments. Today we are
glad to see JBoss EAP 7 based on a modular, lightweight stack that can
be deployed in a variety of environments - on-premise or in cloud
architectures such as OpenShift - matching the requirements of modern
Java enterprise architectures."
Joe Dickman, senior vice president, Vizuri
"It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since Red Hat's
acquisition of JBoss. What started out as a Java application server
purchase has been transformed into a suite of enterprise-class
middleware solutions that Fortune 500 and federal agencies have come to
rely and build their businesses upon. Vizuri was partners with JBoss in
2003 before the Red Hat acquisition and has built a world-class
consultancy specializing in Red Hat's emerging products. We look forward
to taking the journey with Red Hat as they work to break the mold again
in the new world of the application economy."
